This is a lovely light which is not exactly as pictured. The diffuser plate sits at the bottom, not in the middle of the drum shade as pictured but gives a lovely glow none the less.  Installation got easier after the first one as it takes a bit of work to align the seam exactly where you want it. The shade is off white and just perfect for my decor. As a tip to those who are looking for a whiter tone on the shade, use a cooler toned bulb.
